Habitat and successional status of plants in relation to the communities of their leaf-chewing herbivores in Papua New Guinea

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

1 The spatial distribution of 30 woody species (15 species each of Euphorbiaceae and Moraceae) and their associated leaf-chewing communities (Orthoptera, Phasmatodea, Coleoptera and Lepidoptera) were studied in coastal, riverine and rain forest habitats.A successional series, from abandoned gardens to primary forest, was examined. Host plant records for more than 27 000 insects, all verified by feeding experiments, and spatial distribution of almost 9000 plant specimens were evaluated. 2 Phylogenetic (taxonomic) relatedness of host plants explained 56% of the variability in the composition of their herbivore communities, while the ecological (distribution) similarity of plants explained only 4%. 3 The successional optimum of plant species was not an important determinant of the composition of their herbivore communities. 4 Neither plant successional optimum nor plant palatability to a generalist herbivore were correlated with the number of species, abundance or host specificity of its
